Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of spring production equipment, and more specifically to a spring heat treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] A spring is a mechanical component that has a spring-like structure. It is mainly used for cushioning and shock absorption, elastic recovery, and motion control. Common types of springs include coil springs, serpentine springs, and disc springs. Serpentine springs are widely used in sofas, mattresses, and chairs to provide necessary elastic support and improve sitting comfort.

[0003] During the production process, serpentine springs need to be heat-treated to improve their strength and toughness. However, during the tempering process, workers often use clamps to hold and transfer the serpentine springs into the heating chamber for stacking. If the springs are not stacked neatly, the airflow in the heating furnace will be obstructed, which will lead to uneven heat distribution. The parts closer to the heat source will overheat, while the parts farther away from the heat source will have a lower temperature. This uneven heating will cause the serpentine springs to twist and deform or even crack on the surface. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies and to solve the problem of uneven heating of serpentine springs during tempering.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model can be implemented through the following technical solution: a spring heat treatment device, comprising a spring body, and further comprising:

[0029] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a spring heat treatment apparatus includes a spring body 50, and further includes:

[0031] The housing 1 has a heating cover 6 inside, and a heating cavity 62 inside the heating cover 6.

[0032] Top cover 2, the top cover 2 is disposed on the housing 1;

[0033] The suspension frame 5 is snapped onto the heating cover 6. The suspension frame 5 includes an outer frame 51 and hanging rods 52 arranged in a linear array within the outer frame 51. The spring body 50 is disposed on the hanging rods 52, and the hanging rods 52 are located within the heating cavity 62.

[0034] Control unit 3 is disposed on the heating cover 6 and cooperates with the hanging rod 52. The control unit 3 drives the hanging rod 52 to rotate on the outer frame 51.

[0035] Specifically, the spring body 50 can be a serpentine spring. When heat treating the spring body 50, the spring bodies 50 are suspended one by one onto the hanging rod 52. The hanging rod 52 supports multiple spring bodies 50, and multiple spring bodies 50 are heat treated at one time. After suspension, the spring bodies 50 on the hanging rod 52 are placed in the heating chamber 62 through the outer frame 51. The outer frame 51 plays a supporting and stabilizing role. Then, the spring bodies 50 are heat treated. At this time, the control unit 3 drives the hanging rod 52 to rotate on the outer frame 51 to adjust the angle of the spring body 50 so that it can better contact the heat flow, thereby reducing the phenomenon of temperature difference.

[0036] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer frame 51 includes a top plate 511, a bottom plate 515, side plates 513, and a support plate 512 that engages with the heating cover 6. The side plates 513 are disposed between the top plate 511 and the bottom plate 515, and the support plate 512 is disposed on the top plate 511. Rotating sleeves 53 are provided on both the top plate 511 and the bottom plate 515. The hanging rod 52 is engaged with the rotating sleeve 53. The top plate 511, the bottom plate 515, and the two side plates 513 form a square frame. The hanging rod 52 is rotatably connected between the top plate 511 and the bottom plate 515 through the rotating sleeve 53, so that the hanging rod 52 can be positioned on the outer frame 51 and rotate synchronously with the spring body 50 to adjust the angle, so that the spring body 50 is better aligned with the heating tube 63, thereby improving the heating effect on the spring body 50.

[0037] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a support rod 521 is provided on the hanging rod 52. During the heat treatment process, the spring body 50 is suspended on the support rod 521. The support rod 521 can slide on the hanging rod 52, thereby adjusting the distance between the two support rods 521 according to the length of the spring body 50.

[0038] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, the heating cover 6 is provided with a locking block 61, and the support plate 512 is provided with a groove that engages with the locking block 61. When the suspension frame 5 is placed on the heating cover 6, the two support plates 512 engage with the groove to improve the positioning and support effect of the suspension frame 5.

[0039] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, a rack 54 is slidably disposed on the outer frame 51, and a gear 55 meshing with the rack 54 is disposed at one end of the hanging rod 52. The control unit 3 includes a bending plate, a motor 30, and a screw 31 disposed on the output end of the motor 30. A slider 33 is disposed on the screw 31 and slides on the bending plate. The slider 33 pushes the rack 54 to slide on the outer frame 51. The bending plate is engaged inside the heating cover 6. The model of the motor 30 is MHMF042L1U4-1116. Installed outside the housing 1, and the output end of the motor 30 is connected to the screw 31 through a coupling to control the screw 31 to rotate inside the housing 1. When the screw 31 rotates, the slider 33 slides on the bending plate 32 and pushes the rack 54 to slide on the outer frame 51. At this time, the gear 55 is driven to rotate by the rack 54, thus driving the hanging rod 52 to rotate, thereby adjusting the heating angle of the spring body 50 to reduce the phenomenon of local temperature difference in the spring body 50 and improve the tempering effect of the spring body 50. The bending frame is fixed inside the heating cover 6 to guide the slider 33.

[0040] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the rack 54 is provided with a push block 541 that abuts against the slider 33. An elastic element 542 is provided between the push block 541 and the rack 54. The elastic element 542 can be a spring. Through the elastic force of the elastic element 542, the two sliders 33 slide relative to each other toward the center of the rack 54, so that when the suspension frame 5 is installed in the heating cavity 62, the sliders 33 always remain in abutting against the push block 541.

[0041] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a cooling element 4 is provided on the housing 1 to prevent the temperature inside the housing 1 from exceeding the rated temperature, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the heating chamber 62 between 350 and 450°C during the tempering process and improving the heating stability of the spring body 50.

[0042] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a heating tube 63 is provided in the heating cavity 62 of the heating cover 6. The heating tube 63 is evenly arranged around the outer wall of the heating cover 6 to improve the instantaneous heating speed of the heating cavity 62. At the same time, the even arrangement of the heating ring makes the heat flow distribution of the heating cavity 62 more uniform.

[0043] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a push plate 21 is slidably disposed on the upper cover 2. The push plate 21 is located directly above the suspension bracket 5. After the spring body 50 has completed the heating and tempering time, the push plate 21 is moved to open the upper opening of the upper cover 2 halfway, so that the suspension bracket 5 can be taken out from above, thereby reducing the heat dissipation in the heating chamber 62. Similarly, when the spring needs to be tempered and heated, the push plate 21 is moved, and the suspension brackets 5 are then assembled one by one into the housing 1 for heat treatment.

[0044] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the suspension frame 5 is provided with a lifting ring 516. When the push plate 21 is moved to open the upper opening of the upper cover 2 halfway, the externally connected lifting ring 516 can remove the suspension frame 5 and the heated spring body 50 from the housing 1.

[0045] The above-described technical solution of this utility model addresses the problem that existing technical solutions are too simplistic and provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies. The parts not covered in this application's technical solution are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The technical solutions in the above embodiments have clearly and completely described the content of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
